CRICKET.

—.—«, TALL V. SHORT.

This match was continued on Saturday last. The result of the play on the first day was that the Short made 123 in their first innings, and the Tall made 66 with the loss of five wickets, E. Fowler and A. Ollivier being not out for 10 and 23 respectively. The former was unable to continue his innings through illness, Ollivier and Stevens therefore went in, but the former failed to stop the second ball from J. Fowler, which came in well from the off. Baker followed, but Stevens was bowled by J. Fowler after making 5. No stand was made, the wickets falling fast, and in less than half an hour all were out for the small score of 80. With 43 in their favor the Short men resumed the batting, and it seemi d a matter of doubt whether the Tall would get them out or not, as the Tall were laboring under the great disadvantage of being short in bowling, two of their best bowlers being absent from some unexplained cause. No stand was made, however, until Wood and Souter became partners, and then the scoring was fast. At last Wood relumed a ball to the bowler after making 29 by two 4's, two 3's, five 2's, and singles. Fuller went to Souter's assistance, and after playing a short but merry innings gave a chance. Souter was soon afterwards caught by cover-point, but not before he had made 36 by one 4, four 3's, six 2's, and singles. No other stand was made, and the innings closed for 91, leaving the Tall 135 to get to win. As the light was bad, and it was nearly six o'clock it was decided to postpone play for the day. The bowling of the Tall was of the most feeble description, scarcely a ball being on the wicket, and it is a wonder that a longer score was not made. The fielding was fair, and there were no byes, two leg-byes and two wides being the only extras. We believe it is not intended to finish the match. The following is the score . SHOBT. First Innings.
